BSOD

Hi new to the forum and not a computer person. Getting BSOD in normal mode. Able to run in Safe with networking mode. Receiving errors 0x1000008e and 0x0000000f4 and the drivers listed in blue screen viewer are ntkrnpa.exe and ataport.sys.
Haven't loaded any new software or added any new hardware.
Ran Malwarebytes and PC cleaner with no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Download BlueScreenView:http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html
unzip downloaded file and double click on BlueScreenView.exe to run the program.
when scanning is done, go to EDIT - Select All
Go to FILE - SAVE Selected Items, and save the report as BSOD.txt
Open BSOD.txt in Notepad, copy all of the content, and paste it into your next reply

Okay. Now let's see if it's something starting with the OS that's causing a problem.

Open msconfig and on the General tab choose "selective startup" (uncheck all three items) and reboot. Does the problem still occur? If not, start adding items back to msconfig one or two at a time, rebooting after each change, until the problem reappears and you'll have identified the offending process. This is clearly a time consuming procedure, but it is the best way to determine if some process loading with the system is the cause of your problem.
After you've isolated the cause, do not use msconfig to permanently disable the process. Instead, if it is a service go to START - RUN and type: services.msc (then press enter) and disable the service OR, if it a program, you can download & run a simple app such as Mike Lin's Startup Control Panel (http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml) to enable, disable, or otherwise manage startup programs.

OK Allan first of all thanks for your time. I also live in NJ. Went into MSCONFIG and only two fields were selectable, load system services and load system items, use original boot config was not selectable. Unchecked the two that were and rebooted and still received a BSOD.Returned to msconfig and rechecked the two items. Also re-ran the memory scan over night and there were no issues..ron
